Advocacy and Civic Engagement

Supporting families goes beyond direct services—it means amplifying their voices and advocating for systems that support their well-being. We work alongside clients, partners, and the broader community to drive meaningful change for children and families in Napa County. 

How Cope Advocates for Children and Families

• We promote civic engagement by encouraging families to get involved—through voting, volunteering, contacting elected officials, and attending public meetings on issues they care about.
• We advocate at the local, state, and federal levels for policies and legislation that improve the lives of children and families. (link to policy platform).
• We educate the community about the impacts of child abuse and neglect—and how building resilience at both the individual and community level can create safer, healthier futures.
